“Design true, create with purpose, ad inexplorata”
Nearly a decade on Apple's Human Interface Design team left fingerprints on things you use every day — Siri, Safari, Apple Music, Messages, Search. The kind of foundational, systems-level work that doesn't fit neatly on a project page but quietly shapes how hundreds of millions of people interact with technology.
From there, Max became senior design lead, interaction designer, and design systems librarian for Google's Material UI in-house with YouTube focused on live streaming — advocating for creator safety, and building gamified moments into live chat, creator tools, and the main watch page.

Max is the founding visual designer and product UI lead at Together AI — The AI Native Cloud. They believe potential shouldn’t be locked behind walls of complexity or cost, and progress accelerates when the tools to build are open, when scale is shared, and when knowledge moves freely. Imagination is a force, and Together.ai builds a place where ideas can move, shift, take shape.
Every audio cue, ambient track, and foley sound across this portfolio was recorded and produced here in San Francisco under his sound project, Sutro Tower Recordings — named for the antenna tower visible from his studio window. It's where his electronics, field recordings, and a DJing passions collide. Interested in audio and live music production? Listen and watch free on YouTube and Spotify.
